It has drawbacks, but it makes some things a lot easier to do.
CSS+<OBJECT> also seems like a little roundabout solution, and not very
intuitive. The current FRAME syntax is very direct. Besides, bookmark
behavior is browser-dependent, so there is nothing that says that a
browser vendor can't provide a better implementation.
I think that, extending CSS properties to framesets and frames (as a
substitute for the ROWS and COLS attributes) would make the most sense.
